Ive seen several tweets ,posts etc how the CIF wanted the North to Have 8 in the open because the South had 8.. They are different animals and there lies the problem. Every year the North gets sucked into that . I remember when the First year of the open the North sent its best D1 Sheldon, its Top 3 D2 in Newark,Serra, and Mitty, Its 2 best D3 in Odowd and Modesto Christian and its best D4 Salesian. The south sacrificed D1 placing 6 teams and 1 D3. Guess what North only won D1. Smart southern CIF Brass.
The same thing is happening this year. The North is sending its top 4 D1, DLS,MODESTO,Folsom And Sheldon, Top2 D2 Sac And St Francis, Top D3 in Moreau and top D4 in Salesian vs The South has 4 SS open teams, Chino, Mater dei, Montgomery, Sierra Canyon, top 2 Open San Diego with Foothills and Cathedral Catholic, LA open Westchester and D4 Imannuel from
Central Section. That leaves several monsters in all the Divisions in the south and they could run the tables.
SOUTH
D1 has teams like Redondo Union #9 Nationally, Crespi #9 State and #27 Nationally, Fairfax #17 State and #67 National, Alemany, Centennial that beat DLS And they beat a Foothills christian team ,that is in open and lost to Chino by 2 , by15
D2 ....................... Orange Lutheran, JW North ,Taft ( Which beat Immanuel who is in the open)
D3 ......................... Ayala 30-3 who only lost to open Mater Dei in OT by 4, Santa Barbara 31-1
D4 ........................Diamond Ranch Who won Southern Section 3A will play state D4
D5........................St Joe 29-3 who only lost by 1 point to Open Immannuel
NORTH top 3 in each
D1.....Bellarmine, Jesuit, Monte Vista------------------Could Be DLS,Sheldon Folsom Or MC
D2.....Serra, El Cerrito, Mitty,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Sac Or St Francis
D3...Weston Ranch, Manteca Riordan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Moreau Catholic
D4...Half Moon Bay, Central Catholic, Palma,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Salesian
D5...St Joes, Mariposa County, University
We would have a better Chance if we didn't put all the best teams in the open. The South doesn't do it why should we. Immanuel is no where near an open . Cathedral Catholic lost to Jesuit and Mitty at the Father Berry. Los Angeles OPEN only put 1 team.
In the North The NCS and The SJS should have an open . The winner of each along with the CCS go to Norcal open. that gives you 3 teams. Add 1 more for a total of 4. Maybe a play in game. with 2 runner ups. with loser staying in its division.
For fun Say CCS St Francis , DLS, modesto win their opens. Folsom plays Sac and wins. Those are 4 open teams Sac drops back to D2
State Championships
Open Chino vs DLS
D1 Redondo vs Sheldon
D2 Taft Vs Sac High
D3 Ayala vs Moreau Catholic
D4 Diamond Ranch Vs Salesian
D5 St Joes VS Sy Joes which will probably happen
BETTER YET THROW THE OPEN GARBAGE OUT THE WINDOW AND GO BACK TO THE WAY IT USE TO BE
